In 2008, Shalin obtained a law degree and was later admitted as an attorney after serving articles-of-clerkship at a reputable law firm. She has practiced law (both in Durban and Johannesburg) in the employ of prestigious South African law firms that have a national footprint, including Strauss Daly (Jhb) where she worked as Head of Department in the Banking & Securities Litigation department. Entrusted to senior positions of responsibility, Shalin honed her skills in various areas of law and devised effective work-flow processes to handle large volumes of files, while also managing large teams of staff. Shalin later established her own legal practice with a view to offering comprehensive legal services at competitive rates.

Reassured by the legal and management experience she has acquired, Shalin is excited to participate in the transformation of the legal profession, especially as relates to black-owned and woman-owned businesses.
